Well hello everyone.
It’s been freaking 4 years after my last post 8D
yea sumimasen, this blog kinda neglected because the writer was having existential crisis and managed to trigger a trauma every time she heard nihongo in a certain way, but she’s fine now, I think. It’s been several years so it should be fine :”)
Writer no torauma wa sateoki, finally I got in the mood to play otoge again! Not gonna lie, other than that specific reason, it’s actually kinda hard for me to find otoge that quench my thirst for quality storyline and decent art style that suits my taste. Everytime I read a good synopsis, the art doesn’t really appeal to me and everytime I see shining glimmering quality art style, the storyline is just, meh :”< -Cough-Rein Des Fleur-Cough-
BUT NOT THIS ONE HONEY
I found this through Otomate YT channel, (Thank God they didn’t region-block it to Japan only like other silly Japanese Company, what is even the meaning of making PROMOTION video when you blocked it for so many other people outside your country?!) The MUSIC BGM is the first thing that caught me, it is so fuckin pretty and ethereal, then came the bootiful art.
AND THE MOST IMPORTANT PART, WE HAVE LOTS OF YUMMY LOOKING & SOUNDING SUGAR-DADDIES-MATERIAL- OSSAN-TACHI WITH CERO-D RATING!!!
(yes u can guess my fave chara isn’t even kouryaku-able PLEASE GIVE ME DOUMA-DONO’S ROUTE, AND OTHER SUGAR DADDY SUCH AS
TSUKUYOMI -he’s more like a reverse-sugar-daddy tho-
AND
CLICK FOR SPOILER
SISCON YAROUSAKKYOU-DONO TOO ;;;;
EVEN AKAZA’S DADDY WITH HIS WISDOM TED-TALK MOMENT WITH THE HEROINE REAALY SHOOK MY INNER SUGAR BABIES GOKORO )
NOW MY SUGAR-BABIESOTOME GOKORO SUDDENLY BEING LIT BY A POWERFUL FIRE!
YOSSHH, LET’S THROW OUR MONEY FOR OTOMATE AGAIN!
reading the synopsis doesn’t really convince me at first, but after realizing it doesn’t set in the ‘normal’ world timeline (mostly historical atmosphere) and most importantly they wear fancy traditional costume, so I decided to choose this sakuhin as my first dedicated step of overcoming my torauma. (And don’t forget the most important part where this game is Cero-D //winkwonk )
Boi oh boi, this piece of art doesn’t disappoint indeed.
Storyline is veeerry interesting, they use the mythology
I FEEL LIKE GIVING AWAY THE TITLE FEELS LIKE SPOILERY, SO CLICK ON UR OWN RISK
from Japan about Izanagi and Izanami.
This is the first time I learned about them and it is really sad 😦
Since I’m not familiar with the mythology, the suspense build-up even more thick for me, I’m so astonished at how they remake this mythology into some otome game and ended up not that cheesy! great job scenario writer!
I’ve full comp (well at least the good ending part only) and dare I say I STAN DOUMA-DONO ANYTIME ANYWHERE
I even voted for him on kyara ninki touhyou
After stanning daddy, I want to say Akaza is my next oshi, but in order to get him, we need to finished other guys first, hence I’m unconsciously raising the bar for my expectation of his route (too high apparently), in the end I just feel ‘okay’ with his route. It surprises me not in a real good way, his personality changed compared to Akaza in other’s route. I feel a little bit betrayed, but he’s voiced by tsugutsugu, so at least my expectation on that part wasn’t betrayed.
This game is such a good stuff for u people who liked pretty arts (the background still is very detailed and such an eye candy!). Every sprite is bootiful too, and they have this little fancy effect that usually used by Mbah KOEI with their over-mighty budget. Guess Otomate spent their budget wisely this time since the game got ‘Dendouiri Gold’ stamp now, u better grab ur cash and start making the FD!! (preferably with Douma-dono’s extra sugar available for us 8D )
Fo u people who likes intriguing story and very dramatic plot-twist, this is a good one too! I was caught off guard so many times for every route, especially Yosuga and Kuroba, maybe mostly because I’m not familiar with the base mythology, but still it is very entertaining to read.
Mind u who’s a Quinrose kinda gurl, who expect strong-smart-sassy heroine, this one isn’t exactly for you, well at least not at first, the heroine is still seken-shirazu type, but as the stories unveil, I can clearly see her growth, but not as much sassiness as I would like her to be tho.
I’ll get into each chara impression in another post, since it’s very spoiler-y .
hopefully I’m in a productive cycle so I can post it soon!! 8D
